I believe a good action plan is to ask questions.  Ask what language(s) the students know.  Learn alternative language study options.

When we talk about supporting diversity, it is essential to look at the heart of what makes us human: love. Personally, I believe that love conquers everything. When we love ourselves first, we open our hearts to a deeper understanding of the world around us. Love has the unique power to break down barriers, dissolve prejudices, and bring people together, regardless of their skin color or cultural background. When you truly love yourself, you naturally begin to extend that love outward. It becomes impossible to hold onto hate or prejudice when your core is filled with acceptance and compassion.

People within a culture may have shared patterns of understanding; race in general can categorize people into various groups 

Differentiated assessment strategies can maximize student effectiveness

I try to show all my students at once what is expected, I demonstrait and go step by step, I let them think for them self on the practical application. I wait and observe them to see if they follow what was taught. I see were they hit a road block on something and try to find out why they did, and show them why it has to be done a certain way. I belive in a good balnce of acedemic and hands on for learning anything. Patience and an open mind is the key!!!

Supporting diverse learners in the classroom, including students with disabilities, requires a multifaceted approach that encompasses understanding, empathy, and effective strategies. Here are some key aspects to consider: Understanding Diversity: Recognize that diversity encompasses a wide range of factors including race, ethnicity, culture, language, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, and ability. Each student brings unique strengths and challenges to the classroom. Create an Inclusive Environment: Foster a classroom culture that celebrates diversity and promotes inclusion. This can be achieved through inclusive language, diverse curriculum materials, and respectful interactions among students.Differentiated Instruction: Implement teaching strategies that accommodate diverse learning needs.

Students with disabilities need differentiation of instruction in the classroom, as well as accomodations and modifications when applicable based on their needs. This levels the playing field.

I feel that it is a best practice to provide opportunities for students to meet privately with me.  I have office hours which are walk in, and some which are appointment only.  It is imperative to also invite students to meet with me- especially if I see one who is having a struggle with classwork or behaviors.

Being open and supportive of all of your students, and accepting them and their differences, is the key to differentiated instruction. Making sure that you are aware of any stereotypes that you may have from your own past experiences can help you as the instructor make your students feel empowered and able to learn in your classroom. Student choice in process and assessments will lead to better understanding of content at any level of education. 

I teach in a vocational training institute. My students are from different background and ethnic groups with uneven educational levels.

I normally started my class by sharing with them my own background, experiences and asked them to take turn and talk about themselves. Ask them to tell us about their background, experiences, what did they do before they came to our school, why did they choose to learn this trade, what do they expect to learn from this course and what are their preferred leaning styles.

I learned about the students througout these sessions and try to alter my approach… >>>

The key to supporting diverse learners

Wow being an educator is a calling truly.

I have learned about students with learning disability and the variety of disorders was a great interest to me. I will be researching more methods of aiding them in their learning journeying.

It is interesting to note the difference in cognition and experience of each of different generations.  The diversity adds a lot to the educational experience within the classroom setting. An instructor must be apt to meet the academic needs of each of the generations represented within a course. 

This course allowed me to see the diffrent types a of problems a student with PTSD vor TBI will incounter in the class room. 

Treat students as you would want to be treated and accept them as you would want to be accepted. Love your subject and let your teaching reflect that love to them so they will enjoy the learning process and be able to apply their knowledge in a positive fashion. 

To assist with the needs of this changing student population, educators mush consider generational characteristics to ensure equity in learning opportunities. Specifically, educators in the classrooms will need to adapt and adjust for a changing student population providing instruction that meets the needs of multiple generations of learners , often within one classroom>

This diversity class was unique in its format with reflective writing and videos. I was pleasantly surprised ar finding a resource I did not know - the implicit bias test site from Harvard. I will definitely be using this in my human diversity course! 

In institutions of higher education, student retention is enhanced when the faculty is familiar with the concept of students as customers, implements effective communication techniques, and sets guidelines for advising and mentoring students.  Instructors need to focus on the learning needs of the students and realize that academic and non-academic factors influence the success of each student.  The plan is to teach basic nursing skills using multiple methods of instruction.  The students will have a written step-by-step guide for each skill, a video to watch that demonstrates the skill, and then a hands-on method in which the students perform the… >>>
